Posted: Sun Sep 16, 2007 7:15 pm Post subject: Are my actions justified?
Although I'm asking this, I'm pretty sure I still will be following out my original plan. I just want to see other people's reactions. See if I'm all that crazy. And if there is another good solution, I make take that route..
Alright, so I went skating the other day with a friend. And on our way there we met to people friend A knew. One of them I'll admit to getting in a little skrum with earlier(He threw fries/gravy at me. I said a few.. blunt things. And it ended up with him on his ass). But that was a good 2 years ago, and he doesn't seem like the cocky arrogant little twit he was before. So I say nothing about previous incidents, and continue my journey to the park..
We get there, skate a bit. Then take a break and start talking. Something came up about a certain kid(I got in a few skrums with him before) that's been apparently bullying this guy. I made a little mental note of it, and continued to do what I was doing..
I get into school the next day, and to my surprise I witness for the very first time. That guy I met at the park being shoved around by that little tub' tard I've got into a bit of trouble with before. As soon as I see his hand out reach I push my way in between them, and in a very bold and controlling voice ask hi what the fuck he's doing. He's stunned, looks and me.. looks at the kid now scurrying off. And then leaves. About 10 minutes later he comes up to me, grabs me by the shoulder and asks me what I did back there. I tell him o stop fucking with the kid, and he tells me that he doesn't care and that he'll keep doing it. So I agreed(mainly with myself) as I said out loud." I'm going to do what I have to do, and you'll do what you've got to. If somehow we clash in doing out business, that's all we can do. He left, I left.. all went well..
A day later, the same thing happens. But this time he's overly agitated by looking like a retard in front of all his skeetbag buddies. So he tells me he's going to get me(one day). I nodd' and just sly by. Later on we meet again and I try to bargain with him. We're going to scrap out behind the school Wednesday lunch. I win, he leaves the kid alone. He wins, I say nothing more to him..
I know this is quite bold of me to say, but I can't lose this fight. He's a coward, and only picks on buggers half his size. He charged me a year back and I choked him into unconsciousness. He is a decent bit heavier than me, but I've no fears against that. I know his pathetic style, and I know he's a complete idiot. Besides, I'm not fighting for myself. I'm fighting to preserve someone else's sanity. With is an extreme form of motivation for me.
My question is.. Are my actions justified? I am fighting for someone else, the reason is plenty good enough. And though this sounds unbelievable barbaric, I enjoy fighting. The adrenaline, the excitement, the crowds and the madd' ego boast afterwards() is plenty worth whatever damage or trouble I may get into. Though I'm still asking this question, why? Because I know my judgment is horrible. I've learned this at an early age. I've a knack for pissing people off..
As well, how do you figure the staff of the school would find this? I've got everyone there proving my semi-innocents. There's loads of people who seen me step in front, and another decent amount who know why I'm fighting. I've never been caught roughing around before, though I'm not sure about this now. I've finally started taking school seriously(starting high school) and don't feel like getting booted out for a day or two from something stupid. I want to stand up for this kid, and show this other guy what he can't do. But I don't want to risk my school record..
Thoughts? suggestions?

What you're doing sounds very noble... standing up for other people all the time like that!
But you have to be a little careful. Not everybody will see your actions the same way you do. It may make you feel good and all, but look at what you are risking to have it.
I honestly have to say Wow! I wish you were attending the school my son goes to. He has been the victim of bullying for quite some time now. I would love for a friend or stranger to jump in and put these losers in their place! But on the other note: Fighting will get you suspended, possibly expelled or a few teeth knocked out. Is that worth it to you?
Your'e taking it too far. Some people need to be smacked in the head to wise them up, but going around fighting all the time is just going to get out of hand. If you were going to hit him you should have done it when you saw him messing with the kid.

That was my problem. I was bullied from elementary school to the first year of high school. I became big, and would workout all the time. In my late teens to mid 20's, I would take too many things as a 'threat', and as a result would get myself in trouble by fighting or overreacting.
